This video documents one of our successful heists.

Originally planned as a series, "Lazarus: Forth From Ashes" features Jonah, Hector, and Serena onboard their refitted medical transport ship, the Lazarus.I stole a glass from a bar & made a heist filmEctropy Arts2021-04-30 | I call this heist "Ocean's Grand Illusion".
Music used: Counting the Money - No Vocals from Artlist.comVideo Comparison: Canon 7D Mark II vs iPhone 12 Pro MaxEctropy Arts2021-04-29 | The iPhone 12 Pro Max has great video quality, but I was interested to see how it visually compares to a popular DSLR like the Canon 7D Mark II. This is an informal test of the cameras, pitting the Canon 7D Mark II against the iPhone 12 Pro Max in a well-lit outdoor scene.
See the watermarks for the important settings of each video clip. All of the iPhone's settings were left on automatic. For the 7D, auto-focus and aperture settings were left on automatic in this example. Shutter priority 1/250 was used. A better shutter setting for video would be 1/50 for 24fps video or 1/60 for 30fps video. Even better would be 1/48 for 24 fps video which is a setting that doesn't actually exist on the 7D.
All shots were handheld, and were filmed standing in the same spot. This gives you and idea of the image stabilization available in the iPhone and in the 7D's EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM lens. It also gives you and idea of how "zoomy" the iPhone's lenses are when compared to a popular Canon lens.
You can also see what the iPhone's "zoom" looks like when it switches between its three different lenses (0.5x, 1x, and 2.5x). In my opinion it is generally not a good idea to switch the iPhone's "zoom" during filming of 'cinematic' footage. The transition can be jarring.
This video is rendered in 4K H.265, and the 1080p clips were scaled up to fit the frame size. The 7D can't shoot in 4K, so there is also an example clip of the iPhone shooting 1080p for a fairer side by side comparison.
All audio is raw out of the camera. You'll note that the iPhone has less motor noise since it has virtually no moving parts (not counting the sensor stabilization). In a professional environment, you'd want to use an external audio recorder with either of these cameras to obtain the best quality audio.I Made a Worm VTuberEctropy Arts2021-02-13 | We made a Worm VTuber Live2D model for my version for the Kitten Zoom Filter Mishap video, and controlled it using PrprLive.

(Original youtu.be/O0JYtHHExXc )How to use your iPhone to see the distance you walk, hike, or runEctropy Arts2020-09-17 | With your iPhone you can see how far you've traveled on foot during a day using the "Walking + Running Distance" feature built into the Health app. This works even if you didn't start an Apple Watch workout, and in fact doesn't require you to own or wear an Apple Watch at all—iPhone can do this all on its own.
I like to use this if I went on a hike or walk but forgot to start a workout. It's interesting to see how far I've traveled on a particular day, or during a particular event like a camp out, music festival, or other trip.

10mm socket (for driver side, moving box that blocks strut removal) A ratchet that fits your sockets A breaker bar--the longer the better. The bolt can be very hard to loosen.
WD-40 (To loosen the strut's bolt)
One or more crowbar A jack A jack stand A rubber hammer may help re-insert the strut's bolt.
A friend be very helpful, especially for compressing the new strut, lining up the holes and installing the new bolt.
The parts I used were the following: Duralast Loaded Strut Assembly LS33-80372L (For driver side)
If you have to cut off your existing bolts (because the welded round nut breaks lose from the vehicle) you'll need the following tools:
Angle grinder, with metal cutting disk Hearing protection Eye protection
You'll also need a replacement bolt if you cut off the original one. I used Grade 8 1/2" diameter 3" length Flange Bolts and corresponding Grade 8 Flanged Hex Nuts. Those match the grade, length and diameter of the OEM bolt. I found them at Tractor Supply Co. If you do this, you'll also need a wrench/socket that fits the new bolt and nut.
Any auto-repairs you attempt based on this video are done at your own risk.Im sorry coronavirus, Earth is closed today!Ectropy Arts2020-03-19 | You better pack it up and get out of here!How to convert/remux mkv files to mp4 using OBSEctropy Arts2020-03-08 | Not all video editing programs support mkv files, but OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) has a built-in way to convert (or, more accurately, “remux”) mkv files to mp4 files.

You'll need: 1) The M.2 drive 2) A spacer screw (included with motherboard) 3) A screw that secures your M.2 drive (included with motherboard) 4) A small Phillips head screwdriver 5) Needle nose pliers (optional but useful) 6) A bit of patience, since the screws are super small and easy to drop.
I also suggest laying your case down on its side so that the top of the motherboard is facing up while installing the M.2 drive. This can help you to avoid dropping and losing screws in the bottom of your case.tedcrockett.exe has stopped workingEctropy Arts2017-12-13 | Roy Moore's campaign spokesman, Ted Crockett, encounters a problem.
